‘Paul was a really good guy and Jasmine is broken up by this. I went to Thanksgiving with him, played golf with him,’ her uncle Barton Bruner said.

‘They had their ups and downs but they were together and looking to spend a bright future together.

‘This is horrible news and unexpected. Her mother is with her and she is comforting her.’

The couple reportedly first got together when the Fast & Furious star was 33 and Jasmine was just 16.

Meanwhile, among the last words of Walker were revealed to be ‘Let’s go for a drive’, shortly before the Porsche Carrera GT he was a passenger in smashed into a tree and burst into flames.

Walker and his friend Roger Rodas, who was driving the car and also died at the scene, had decided to go for a short drive at a charity event held at high-end car shop Always Evolving – which Walker had a stake in.

Walker’s friend Jim Torp said: ‘Roger backed it in to the garage and Paul jumped in and said “Hey, let’s go for a drive”.’

‘So they went for a little drive and this is what happened.’

He added to the New York Daily News newspaper: ‘It’s strange. [Walker] made his movies. He lived his life and he died fast and furious today.

‘He loved speed, he loved cars and he had to die this way. He died in a very fast car with his friend.’

Across social media sites, fans have been posting a quote – ‘If one day the speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling’ – attributed to Walker.
